Author Eddy Eacueo The FDA-compliant iglide® A350 material is being phased out due to legislation going into effect January 2nd, 2028. In this video, iglide Product Manager Hope Mammone goes over how this will impact customers currently using A350...
By Jared Worth Injection molding is a manufacturing process that has been around for more than 150 years. Today, it is more popular than ever thanks to continuous innovation and material improvements. This blog will explain what injection...
Author: Administrator Additive manufacturing and new types of production Most development departments, production lines and workshops can no longer be imagined without additive manufacturing. While in the beginning the technology was mainly used for prototypes and view models,...
By Admin Picture this: You need a metallic component, so you quickly import the software model and the component comes out of the 3D printer in no time. There are no chips and practically no waste. You think to yourself, does...
When I started working for igus® decades—that’s right, decades—ago, I was completely unaware of how wide the range of products and machinery that use bearings was, and how important these seemingly insignificant parts are. Over the years, I...
By Christine Barreto (Edited by Shizu Yamaguchi) Modern 3D printing workflows are no longer limited to simply slicing and printing parts—they now incorporate advanced simulation and material optimization. By integrating predictive tools directly into...
By Lars Butenschon (Edited by Shizu Yamaguchi) Corrosion protection for shafts and bearing bolts is critically important, especially in applications where the bearing point cannot be lubricated (for example in machines in the construction...
By Jared Worth “Give me your most difficult part, and I will find a solution.” This was the bold promise igus® founder Günter Blase made to his eventual first customer, Pierburg, in 1964. Over 60 years...
Powder coating (also known as powder lacquering) is a finishing process where dry powder can be applied to conductive materials through electrostatic charging. The component to be coated is charged, and the powder is...
By Jared Worth 3D printing has transformed how engineers approach mechanical components, evolving from a simple prototyping tool into a robust solution for industrial manufacturing. Whether you are looking to purchase high-performance printing materials for your own...
